Hi all,

This is for the vista guys!!!!

My grandparents friend bought a laptop about 2 weeks ago and she wants it on the net now she is organizing a ISP (bigpond to be exact) and i said to her that i will do updates and get it ready for her as she doesn't know a lot about computers. So i have done all the updates and put virus software on it and a few other things. Now there is a language issue.

Whenever i hit shift + 2 is gives me " whenever i do shift + 3 it gives me *pound dollar sign*.

Now i don't know how to change the language i have put it on US and it still does it..... pls help
 
!!! Update !!!

Found the problem - in the language it has the UK as it's default language... how do i set the US as the default????
 
Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change Keyboards. From here select the right type of keyboard.
 
!!! Update !!!

In word it will the do @ and the $ but not in msn... now in word the set language is Australia.... it's the actual OS causing the problem.
 
Done

Done it's fixed now it needed to be rebooted after i deleted UK langauge...

but thanks for everyone's help.
